Write Now Prompt for October 27, 2017

At Today’s Author, our first goal is to get you (and us) to write. Write Now is our own collection of prompts to help you do that. With Write Now we’re not talking about writing, or trying to teach anyone how to write. Write Now is all about putting pen to paper.

Today’s Prompt:

She couldn’t believe she was in the alien spaceship again after all these years.

How to play along with our Writing Prompts

Write in any format or style you wish: short story, poem, script – whatever you like.

Write for at least 5 minutes. There is no time limit – write for as long as you wish!

Editing is not required, though we do recommend that you run a spell check at least.

Post your work to your blog and include a link back here so your readers can find other writer’s work, too.

Come back here and provide a link to your work on the Write Now! prompt for which it was written.

Read other authors’ posts and leave constructive comments.

Important Note: When you post a draft of your work online, it may be difficult to find a publisher who will accept it, as many see an online document as being previously published. It may also be ineligible to be submitted for certain writing competitions. Always check publisher’s and competition guidelines before using a draft you put online.
